Children; authorizing breastfeeding of child in foster care under certain conditions. Effective date.

SB 764 allows a lactating foster parent to breastfeed a child under age 2 placed in their care, provided they get approval from Oklahoma's Department of Human Services (DHS) and obtain written consent from the child's biological parent (if possible, as determined by DHS). The bill requires DHS to create implementing rules and specifies that the law takes effect November 1, 2025. It directly affects foster parents, biological parents, and children under 2 in foster care. The policy change clarifies that breastfeeding in foster care is permitted under these specific conditions, without requiring new funding or altering existing foster care standards.
